Sophisticated. Chic. Alluring. Black bathroom taps open up a wide spectrum of design possibilities: from classical to contemporary and modern styles, black tapware are setting a trailblazing trend.

Bella Bathrooms shares ideas to incorporate this heavenly look in your bathroom:

Contrasting effect

Black taps juxtaposed against different colours, creates a dramatic impact, highlighting the interplay of colour in the room. This can be used effectively against a neutral tones, alleviating the tedium of a plain background by bringing it alive and creating interest in the room. Matte black offerings from Blu Tide such as their the short Dune Black Basin Mixer and Geneva Basin Spout With Cover Plate Chrome/Black are ideal when revitalizing a space, juxtaposing the rounded edges of their design with flat geometric surfaces. This can be used to provide the perfect contrasting accompaniment for a shallow white basin; the tall Dune Black Basin mixer, on the other hand, provides the ideal experience for a deeper or larger white basin. Continue this look throughout the bathroom with the Dune Black Concealed Mixer for the shower area and the Dune Black Bath Mixer, setting the atmosphere for a delightful soak at the end of the day.

Mix it up

The introduction of black tapware accentuates the contours of the design, highlighting the tap as a key element which contributes to the aesthetic impact of the room. This can be further enhanced by the Bijou range with its interplay of textures, combining matte black with chrome to produce a stylish, streamlined effect which draws the eye to this mesmerizing visual display. This design creatively uses the matte black to bring a dimension of depth to the tap design, enhancing the bathroom space with its contemporary appeal. The Geneva Bath/Shower Mixer from the Bijou range, introduces a black undertile set against a sophisticated chrome lever, allowing you to relax in sophisticated style. This can be mirrored by the Geneva Basin Mixer Short Chrome/Black brings definitive style to the vanity area, setting up a sumptuous effect where you can unwind in luxury, far away from the cares of the world.

Minimalism

Black is ideal for creating a minimalist effect. Its simple, uncluttered effect harmonises with the ethos of this aesthetic which embraces sleek, understated designs such as the slender, geometrically shaped taps of the Gia Bella range. At home in the contemporary and modern bathroom, the range offers the Malta Black Basin Mixer Square to complement a square, round or oval basin or the Malta Black Shower/Bath Mixer Square, ideal as an added feature of a standalone bath. For those wanting a minimalist look with a softer look, Gio Bella includes black taps with a rounded edge, providing an alternative which opens up the design possibilities from classic right through to modern bathrooms.

Visual continuity

Placing your black taps in key areas in your bathroom facilitates visual flow in the room, giving the room a luxurious spacious feel. Additional benefits include the wow factor of this striking finish, naturally drawing attention to the appeal of this streamlined, contoured silhouette. Further impact can be created through your choice of tiling: using marble tiles or marble look tiles, together with black taps, picks up the darker veining of the tile, amplifying the visual experience. Other choices may include wooden finishes, creating a warm contrast between the two shades, while adding to the texture of the bathroom space.

The Hansgrohe selection of black taps adds to this effect with a dimension of symmetry, providing exciting looks and choices in an exquisite gunmetal. Stylish options include the Hansgrohe Decor Black Shower Mixer.

Concealed with a rounded undertile, the Hansgrohe Decor Black Shower Mixer is complemented by a streamlined oval lever, creating a compact, unified look which lends a serenity to the bathroom experience.

Additionally, subway tiling can be used to provide an interesting option, juxtaposing the bold visual impact of the taps with the uniformity of the subway blocks.

Additionally, this visually appealing feature brings an additional refinement, transforming the bathroom into a space of indulgence with the gift of a look that has a timeless appeal.
